An awesome experience for my 40th birthday! Second awesome experience coming in two days.....

It's Everywhere...

Humpty Dumpty

I took Chris to lunch at Humpty Dumpty's in Grass Valley. It was his first time there, I am officially asking him to track his visits as by the end of 2014 I am projecting his visit number to be 160. EHR is going to do wonders for this little restaurant. Don't forget Chris, no more than 3 meals a day.

Me, 5 Minutes Ago

The Texas Christmas Tree

As seen in Austin

Disneyland Fun

It was the girls first trip to Tom Sawyers island and they loved it. Grandma was there too although she isn't pictured for some reason. 

We also saw the candlelight service on Main Street, it ended with the Hallelujah Chorus-it was packed and the kids were restless but I was still glad I got to see it.

First Annual Christmas Cookie Decorating Party

Becca had a great idea to host a cookie decorating party for Sydney and Liz. All the girls in their class came and everyone had a great time. The group produced 5 very different snowmen! Of course Sydney and Liz's are my favorites. (Sydney top middle and Liz bottom left)

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

My 5 year old loves Jesus. This picture warmed my heart and when I pointed out the 3 Kings I was quickly corrected to the 3 Wise Men.

What Makes Penelope Tick

"I Am Intrigued By The Plating"

We went to Second Bar + Kitchen for lunch. The buffalo fried pickles were really good but Sara was just intrigued by the plating.

Seems Pretty Gross, Needs Bacon

SF Jeff sent me this with the question, blog worthy? I thought his comments (the subject of the post) were the best part.

Lunch With my Girl

Before my trip to Austin this week I was able to go have a special lunch with Sydney. She was so happy we had ticket #22 and I loved watching her playing with her friends after lunch.

Someone Special

It's December and I am seeing someone special for lunch.

Something Is Wrong With My Chai

Starbucks crew isn't sure what, I'm not sure what, it's been two days now and it's darker with weird looking flakes in it. Takes more like cinnamon than usual....it's not bad but it's different.

Finding The Great Tree

After 3 lots it was a Noble Fir that is not flocked.

KT, That's Me

Off To The Zoo

He Has Jeans!

And I have a pic to prove it!

Do You Suppose She's In Jail?

Polar Express Adventure

Last week at this time we were leaving Williams AZ after riding the Polar Express train. It was awesome! The kids loved it and Brooke's joy when receiving the silver bell from Santa is something I will never forget. Great weekend, it was snowing most of it and that made it very North Pole-ish for us Southern Californians. 

Do You Think Brooke Adores Her?

This is what Brooke's face looked like when she saw that the FaceTime was connecting with Rachel yesterday. I had to move quick to get the picture.

I Got Up At 4:00am To Buy Plants

Otherwise entitled, I love my mother. #somethingisaidiwouldneverdo #shessohappywiththeseplants #starbuckstime #homedepot #lotsofpeople

Thanksgiving Shopping

Yup we did it again at the Disney Store. And yes I may have shopped on Thanksgiving (and had a great time) but I won't call it Brown Thursday or Grey Thursday. May be the dumbest thing ever.....the media can't even make up their mind, I suggest they call it Thanksgiving. PS I'm not complaining at all about going to bed at 11:15 instead of 3am.

Thanksgiving 2013

The facts:

*We had the smallest group on record. Mom, Dad, James, David, Sydney, Brooke abs myself

*Dinner was awesome-Mom outdid her self-shrimp cocktail was great

*Dixie visited moms house for the first time

*Sydney decorated the table and dressed up in her Indian costume

*Brooke's barely are. Check out her before and after below

*I exceeded my calorie counts for the day and I didn't exercise either :(

Hi Becca and Rachel

I miss you

Go Reign!

We had a fun start to the weekend with a club box at the Reign game. Thanks Matt and Kim everyone had a great time!

Before and After

I did a lot of shopping on my last trip. Unfortunately I brought my small suitcase. Much consolidation was needed.

Disneyland Girls Trip

Big Leaf In Sac

Shopping Is Miserable

If you don't believe me just ask the mannequins at the Macy's in Roseville. They all look miserable, who decided on these mannequins anyway? Why would this make me want to shop there? If you can even please the mannequins now that is a problem.

Diane's Starbucks Christmas Cup

It's so pretty and it screams Merry Christmas!
